Pensacola Police Officer Hits and Kills Child on Bike

Jesus. Ok, I hope I can get off these negative posts, but this is reality people.

According to multiple witnesses, the story goes like this: Pensacola, Florida. Around 2am this past Saturday. A teenager is riding is bicycle. A cop in a car comes up and stuns the kid with a tazer. The kid goes down, the officer runs over the child with his car, and then (I guess leaving his car there?) leaves the boy pinned under the cop car for several hours. The teenager was killed. His name was Victor Steen. Victor was 17 years old.

Jerald Ard is the name of the officer charged with the crime. Why on earth would this man leave the boy pinned under his car for several hours? (among many, many other questions)
